| Notes: |
(1) Normal laden tyre
pressures apply when the vehicle is loaded with up to 3 persons
(2) Fully laden tyre pressures apply when the vehicle is loaded in
excess of the normal laden conditions and up to the maximum rated loaded
condition
(3) Normal usage is defined as usage on all roads at all speeds where
high speed (100 mph) is not sustained for more than approximately 30
minutes at any one time.
(4)The tyre pressures shown above should be used when the tyre is cold
i.e. when approximately at an ambient temperature, not warm to the touch
as is usual after operation. |
